Now that we have all had our fun with Squiffy, I started thinking about it.
POTS systems, if I'm not mistaken sent 48V down those skinny wires to ring your phone. Surely those two unused ethernet wires could handle 5 lousy volts at 2 amps. Some adventurous soul could patch into the cable going to the squeezebox and connect the exisiting transformer to the cable (with some diodes or something to keep the current from running back into the switch/router). Then, a little soldering in the SqueezeBox to patch the two powered ethernet wires to the point where power normally connects to the board. Someone could. But not me. :-) -- jonheal Jon Heal says: Have a nice day! http://www.theheals.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonheal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2133 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21936 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
